Colts QB Daniel Jones Makes Relationship Public With Influencer Girlfriend Nicole ElAttrache

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has seemingly gone public on Instagram with his new relationship with influencer Nicole ElAttrache. And it wasn’t just any ordinary day. The quarterback chose his birthday to publicly express his love.

“I love you,” Jones wrote while resharing Nicole ElAttrache’s Instagram Story, which featured a photo of the couple sharing a dance together.

Much like Jones’ previous relationship, ElAttrache has deep ties to sports and his alma mater, having played for the Duke Blue Devils volleyball team. She is the daughter of Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the world-renowned orthopedic surgeon who frequently operates on high-profile NFL players and elite athletes.

He serves as the team physician for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Rams. Dr. ElAttrache is famous for operating on premier athletes like Tom Brady, Shohei Ohtani, and Aaron Rodgers.

ElAttrache is reportedly 30 years old, putting a minor one-year age gap between her and the newly turned 29-year-old quarterback.

Before going public with Nicole ElAttrache, Daniel Jones’ only other major public relationship was with his college sweetheart, Ella Bonafede. The former couple met while attending Duke University. Jones was building his football legacy, while Bonafede was a standout attacker on the Duke Blue Devils women’s lacrosse team.

After that, there were also rumors of Daniel Jones dating Up and Adams host Kay Adams. But while speaking to ClutchPoints in December 2024, Adams clarified the rumors.

“I don’t know Daniel Jones,” Adams clarified. “I was really curious about him because he seems like somebody who is a hard egg to crack. And so I really wanted to crack that egg. I really wanted to get to know him a little bit.”

These rumors started during the 2024 NFL preseason when Adams interviewed Jones at the New York Giants training camp. Fans online noticed that Adams appeared to stutter and flub her words while asking Jones about his music taste and his new offseason beard. As the rumors spiraled out of control, Adams officially cleared the air during an appearance on The 25/10 Show with former NFL stars LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson.

“I’m not dating Daniel Jones — breaking, breaking news — I’ve met him all of two times, wish him the best, I’m pretty sure he has a girlfriend,” Adams told the hosts at the time.

As Daniel Jones gears up for a new chapter in his personal life, the Colts quarterback also expressed excitement about returning to the field after his 2025 season ended with a gruesome injury.

The positive updates on Daniel Jones’ recovery continue to roll in as the Colts kick off their voluntary offseason program. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, nearly seven months after suffering a torn Achilles, Jones expressed confidence in his progress and said he “absolutely” expects to be ready for Week 1.

“Definitely still work to be done and progress to be made,” Jones said, via The Athletic’s James Boyd. “So, I think it’s just continuing to get stronger, continuing to run faster, and cutting harder. And progress, kind of, according to the program.”

Jones took part in individual drills during Wednesday’s practice session but did not participate in 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 team work. Still, his progress has been encouraging. Last month, Colts head coach Shane Steichen revealed that Jones was already throwing and working through drop-backs just six months after undergoing surgery.

Before the injury, Jones was enjoying a strong first season in Indianapolis. He completed 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while helping the Colts to an 8-5 start. However, the season unraveled after he suffered a torn Achilles in Week 14, as Indianapolis dropped its final seven games and missed the playoffs.

While Wednesday’s workout doesn’t necessarily mean Jones is back to full strength, all signs point toward him being on track for the Colts’ season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 13.
